ISLAND NOTES.

LAHAINA, Maui, April 18th.
l am happy to say that since my last
communication no new case of smallpox
has been developed. The only case SO
far is doing nicely, and should there be
no further outbreak of the disease, we
may look for the removal of the quaran-
tine about the 28th. The special agent
of the Board of Health, Mr.. Reynolds,
and the district physician, Dr. Kuehn,
have shown themselves untiring in their
efforts for the pnblic welfare, and they
have been ably seconded by the deputy
sheriff H, Turton, Jr., who has been al
ways ready with his police for the pur-
pose of guarding the various points of the
town as directed by them. Mr.. Rey-
nolds acts promptly and with judgment.

Hue. Hawaii. April 14th

I1ILO, 1dWdIlJ pm
Seven members of the Hilo Boat Club
were out plying the oar on Sunday, the
10th instant. They changed their clothes
for rowing costume and locked them in a
room at the boat house On their re-
turn they found that someone had broken
into the room and stolen from those who
had money to the amount of twenty dol
lars.
Sunday evening there was an extra
large temperance meeting at Hail
Church The children OF foreign church
did fine exercise. A large cross had
been erected and was covered with
wreaths of flowers, and flowers were
placed at its base by the children. The
Hilo boarding school young men are con-
tinually improving so that all speak of it.
They certainly have an able instructor.
They sing at these meetings.
Hilo's own artist, whose studio is in
the main street, D. Howard Hitchcock,
at an early age showed a great aptitude
for sketching. He has made quite
reputation in Hilo for his beautiful and
perfect paintings of Cocoanut Island, and
has sold many of them. He has now in
hand large painting showing Mauna
Loa and Mauna Kea. He has some fine
pictures of the Selma, showing the wreck
as she lies at the base of the pail. He
has many orders for these pictures, which
do him great credit. Hilo's blind Ha-
waiian, who plays on a large bamboo
stick in imitation of the whistle of the
steamer Kinau, has a fine picture painted
by this artist Mr.. Hitchcock has quite
a gallery of paintings at his studio.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal
Having noticed the report of the market COM
nlittee the charges preferred by against
Mr.. Aldridge-market N sster-in your paper,
which states that the charges not sus
tanned, in order that the public may fairly I'M
derstand the matter, I now state that I pre-
ferred certain charges against Mr. Aldridge at a
meeting of the City Council, held ON July IL,
and required to swear to the matter set
forth in said charges. which L did that same
evening, and it then went into the hands of the
committee. On Saturday, July 16, in the after
noon, five days after Council meeting. received
posta! card notifying me that the market COM
mittee would meet Monday. July 1S at 10
o'clock A. NJ. appeared with
of my witness at that time. stat
ing that I was not fairly dealt with,
and not given fair opportunity to have all my
witnesses present at such short notice. How
ever, the so-called investigation was held, and l
proved with witness and record of sale of stands
stubs of receipts of sales in the hands of the
city clerk that two stands are held by parties
who forfeited their rights to market privileges
and that two stands were held and are still held,
which forfeited under the first sale of
stands, and were not put up at the sale of stands
held on June Is. After the close of the so-called
investigation requested the committee to con-
tnue the investigation for the following reasons:
First-Tnat sufficient time not allowed
me to notify my witnesses of the sitting of the
committee
Second-That evidence was produced against
me not contained in my charges. and. therefore,
l was uuprepared to meet, but which am able
to disprove at any time
Having stated my reasons to the committee
why wished them to continue the investga-
ton. my request was fatty refused, for the rea-
that the whitewash hand and the
brush was applied. for a further lnvestlgatlo
would have spoiled it.
am writing this not to gain notorietv to
seek controversy in the newspapers. 1t is done
for the purpose of bringing this matter in its
true light before the public.
Having said this much, gentlemen of the COM
mittee, now say, if you acted conscientiousiy
and honestly. why did you oppose continuation
of the investigation and oppose a continuance of
the committee in the last meetin of Council.

Houston Post.
One day during the encampment tho manag-
ing editor found he short a man to report
part of the proceedings on the grounds. Spying
the foreman of the composing room, he request
ed him to take notes of company drill and this
is the he did it:
promptly at o'clock the company marched
upon the ground. and received by burst
of applause Immediately the father of the
chapel called time. and the foreman of the COM
pany began to call off by slugs When he
called out Slug l, they unfixed bayonets and
kept on through the manual oy numbers.
The company was made up of numerous wrong
fonts, there being plea man alongside of
a minion one, and BREWER boy alongside
of nonpareil In company front the line
very unevenly justified, there being a three
en- space between some members while between
others there was a three-em quad In platoon
movements the fellow who acted right hyphen
slipped below the line. and all three of the proof
readers commenced to mark errors. In wheeling
left In circle one handful got badly squabbled,
and when they went to call off phalanx
OF four to send to the front and
center the whole form got pied, and
got their work in In marching in columns of
tours another bad company was made.
Some thought they had got a price and -a-half
table off the file, while others evidently thought
they had struck four columns of figures and
words and put in period when they should
only have used comma. In making time around
the drill ground When the assistant foreman
was ordered to make up four-page
form, he made serious error. having
only plea between two pages. while be-
tween others there was four-line plea In
marching In double rank the first three lines
solid, while the remainder were loaded
and double loaded which is not in accordance
with tactics. The foreman, assistant foreman,
proof readers and copy holder all had column
rules, which some of taem brandished finely.
After the three United States proof-readers
were through marking errors the company
passed out amid a storm of applause. Time,
81 minutes. 164 seconds"
And he drank nothing but beer, either.
